Happy World Rhino Day



Let us all help the Rhinos in the world from extinction! Me love Rhinos. Whenever me is in me favorite zoo (DierenPark Amersfoort) me go and visit Saar and Zimon (you see Saar on the bottom left with daughter Sunanda who know lives in England). But me also loved the little Woolly Rhino at Giants of the Ice Age and the Rhino that hangs around the entrance steps of Burgers Zoo in Arnhem. Me surely hope people will stop hunting Rhinos for their horns. Me friend Berry told me people want those horns because they think they possess healing and magic powers. Did you know the horn of a Rhino is made of the same substance as your nails? Are your nails magical? Berry says hers are most certainly not... So it is dumb to hunt Rhinos. Do you love Rhinos?

Vacation blog part II: De Slufter



Hi everybody. Here is me again with part II of me vacation blogs. In part I me told you all about the island Texel. Well there is lots to see besides towns and sheep – although me really love sheep… – because the island has a lot of national parks and nature scenery too. There are forests, dunes and De Slufter (pronounce it as The Sluv-ter). Me visited this particular piece of nature twice while me stayed on the island. Both times it was magnificent and totally different. Me hope the pictures will give you an impression of how beautiful this piece of nature is…

Happy International Elephant Day



Hello everyone. Me is back again with a great holiday. Today, August 12, it is World Elephant Day. Me love elephants. They are huge, but are also sweet and cuddly. Me never sat upon a real elephant, but me like to sit on top of the real statues at the zoos in the Netherlands. It is amazing to look at elephants. These giants are so gentle and only are fighting if it is truly necessary. That is why it makes me so sad when me hears baby elephants get orphanaged because of hunters shooting the elders of the family. Me thinks this must stop so maybe, just maybe me can one day see one in the wild. In the meantime, me will enjoy the elephants me can visit at the zoo! Me sure love elephants. Do you?

Me made a collage of some Elephant love. Cute huh.

Happy International Lion Day



Hello everyone. Today, August 10, it is World Lion Day, or International Lion Day. Today we remember that lions are beautiful big cats. And no trophies. We must protect the lions. Me love going to watch the lions at the zoo. They often come to greet me. Me sometimes want to pet them, but me know better not to. But when there are sleeping and the manes look so soft... Ah well. Me think it is safe to cuddle through the glass when they are sleeping. Me softly sing too. A weeeeeeeee a weee a wim o way. What do you think? Do you love Lions too?

Me made a collage of some Lionlove. Cute huh.

And you know me like to boogie. But me also made some new friends... well... me think me did. What do you think?

Me talked about them in Cookie’s Alphabet: W is for…. Texel is a very green island and you can encounter sheep almost at every meadow. But me saw much more there. That is why me is going to write a few blogs about me vacation. So me can tell you all about it. This week, a little bit about the towns and scenery on Texel

Happy International Tiger Day!



It is International Tiger Day! This means today we contemplate and think of how we can save the endangered tigers. Because if we all do not do something, then there will be only tigers living in the zoo. And that is not right. Me sure do love tigers. Me like to think they like me too. Me saw a lot of them at the zoos me visit. Do you love tigers too?



Me made a collage of some Tigerlove. Cute huh
